While the deed for 2840 Broadway was recorded with a “confidential” sale price and its transfer tax was hidden, tax records have caught up with the sale and suggest the property was purchased for $33,000,000.

While the sale price wasn’t unsubstantial for the 17,000 square foot Pacific Heights property, it was $7,000,000 below the supposed $40,000,000 that Ellison never paid.

Is this the most expensive SFR ever sold in San Francisco? I did a little bit of research based on tax records, and I can’t see anything in the hood that I know sold for more. Personally, I would like to the thank the new owners for the almost 400k dollars they will pay annually in property taxes on this pace – compare that to the paltry 30k the former owner was paying.

The Bebo guys have the top property tax bill in SF coming in at 336k on their $29M ‘make me move’ offer. So this home is most certainly in the Top 3 and perhaps the top SFR sale in SF. Bienoff’s 3277 Pacific @ $25M in 2005 is up there as well.
